The lady is wearing costumes and has set up an indignant look. Mary Frank makes this outrage time and again air, in press releases, in open letters and at information booths where they collect as representative as referred to by their "Germany's future coalition" votes for a public petition. This Munich want Islam critic against the planned Centre for Islam in Europe make mood.

On 8 September of this year Frank is said to have not only exceeded the bounds of good taste, but also of the law. She had, therefore, on Wednesday brought before the Munich District Court on charges of sedition.

On the Rotkreuzplatz the 74-year-old pensioner had been set on this day a poster, which was to be read, among other things, that after the siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire in 1683 now "the arrogant Muslim Turks, and again Europe" threatened. The defendant had made ​​so the reference to a war of aggression and suggest so "at least approvingly," to take that fear would arise from a new threat of Islam and Turkey, argued the prosecutor. You have so disturbed the public peace.

In their defense led to Frank that she and her poster much less have to passersby as the policy will apply. Moreover, she is constantly "surrounded" by their political opponents, so Verdi, Antifa, or the Young Greens, so that "normal people", she said, hardly with her and her messages would come into contact. Offense at the line, account of which she was now accused, no one has taken.

An Austrian woman had another day on the stand in front of Theatinerkirche bother because it was said also that the Turks had "fired on peaceful Vienna," said Frank. You have destroyed the poster then. "I see no wrong," she said. "For me, that's the truth." Your defenders sought to absolve them. The prosecution demanded a fine of 90 daily per 40 euros .

1000 Euro to Amnesty International

The judge followed the proposal, but continued the punishment of probation. In addition, Frank has, regardless of 1,000 euros to Amnesty International pay, while they vehemently protested because they think nothing of the organization. She would rather donate the money to an organization for persecuted Christians. The judge treated her wish to designate another addressee refused. "Because it's been announced, and because it fits," he said.

He also warned Frank, whose negative comments against Turks and Muslims on the Internet are many and sometimes sharpened significantly more severe than on the poster for caution. "They need to stop and be aware, what goes and what does not." A reminder that are probably also the other so-called critics of Islam to hear the party "Freedom" attentive, the drums in the pedestrian zone or squares for more than a year against Muslims and interact in online forums.

Although you should note that Turks have attacked before Vienna. Infer a current threat, but in the opinion of the court exceeds the bounds. Legally, there were a "very fine line". The judgment is not yet final, Maria Frank contradict one week.

Maria Frank, a 74-year-old woman, who leads an organisation called "Association for the Future of Germany" peacefully gathers signatures calling for a referendum on whether an "Islam in Europe" centre should be built in Munich. She is constantly mobbed by antifa, green and trade union activists, so her placards are hardly visible. Despite that, she is prosecuted for incitement to hatred.

In Rotkreuzplatz the 74-year-old pensioner exhibited a placard on this day, which among other thing said that after the siege of Vienna by the Ottoman empire in 1683 now "the arrogant Turks and Muslims ... [are threatening] Europe again". The accused thus established and suggested the reference to a war of aggression, at least "implicitly accepting" that fear of Islam and Turks would be generated, argued the state prosecutor. She thus disturbed the public peace.

She was placed under caution and ordered to pay 1000 euros to Amnesty International! She said she had nothing to do with this organisation and asked to be allowed to pay the money to a charity for persecuted Christians instead. The judge said no, it had to go to Amnesty International!

In addition he warned Frank, who has made numerous negative statements about Turks and Muslims on the internet, sometimes in a much more drastic way than on the placard. "You need to stop that and become aware of what is acceptable and what isn't."

If she commits a similar "offence" within the next three years, she has to pay a fine of 3,600 euros.

Because we are wimps. Read the mainstream newspaper article. Why did Ms. Katja write it like a sniveling maidservant? Because Ms. Katja, with all her lofty thoughts about the duty of a journalist (I assume that is why she chose her profession) also needs the next gig, and to keep her politically correct friends. Ms. Katja does not want to write a blog; she wants to be a published columnist. So she writes with a lisp: “b-b-b-baiting”. How rude! “w-w-w-without r-r-r-emorse”. How evil! When will these Germans learn to behave? Especially if they are wink, wink, Austrian! Not like our brave girl Katja, who knows “what goes and what does not” very, very well.
